yeah his stats aren't that incredible either, I very much doubt that there is any truth to this.
I doubt Wenger would pay 15 million anyway.

Chile just scored
 
Well he's scored 1 in 2 on average for Boca, that's pretty great. I wouldn't be surprised if Wenger has looked at him, but I just think it's a waste of time to bid.
 
No, he jumped around in glee and shook my hand furiously when I bumped into him.

It was the highlight of my weekend.

Lowlight, food poisoning, and a bloke touching my arse :(
 
Men have pinched my arse before.

To be fair, I was walking through a gay district, I might as well have covered myself with jam and thrown myself into a beehive, then complain when I got stung. They can't help themselves, look at me.
 
that's true. I'm not gay but I can hardly hold myself back looking at you

edit: oh god, it's this guy commentating again on gol tv.
I can't take this excitement, it makes me suicidal
 
Great goal, I'd like to see him in the Premiership.

Messi's acceleration is ridiculous. I don't know if he's the fastest player around, though I'm sure he's up there, but I'm pretty sure he's the fastest off the mark.

Quicker than Henry? We'll see next year... :D

yeah
he's too excited for me

every time I hear "Ay-yiay" I get read to kill

He's hilarious...i can't take a game seriously if he's commenting.

I have a textaloud program and i loop it so i can repeatedly hear his quotes in the funniest

voices possible.Good stuff.
 
I feel sorry for Tevez, he's basically playing up front alone. They say he's partnered by Messi, but he's not, not once did Messi do something from the striking position, he always starts from the wing or midfield.

Personally I'd boot Cambiasso or Veron out of the team, make Messi a midfielder again (all be it an attacking one) and put Crespo up front with Tevez.
 
not the game I hoped for.

Argentina just don't show up when it matters

same at the world cup - no one gives a **** about games in the group stages against Serbia.
 
Man, so depressing. Ugly game in general. I sit here with my dad wearing boca jerseys for shit.
 
Anyone see that program tonight (BBC2) about the Cosmos and the NASL during the late 70's? fascinating story, with a lot of interesting characters. Even though Pele, C Alberto and Beckenbauer played for them I still can't believe they were getting 77K attendances for a football match, that's like current united levels.

As always, Argentina can't see a Brazil jersey without shitting their pants.
More like the inverse, Brazil plays a lot better when they face us and we are playing good (and viceversa too). The problem wasn't scare, the problem were they playing like an impressive european team on the defense (Dunga's philosophy and experience as a player was clear as water on the field), and making perfect counter-attacks.

Where's cae?
Was at my dad's place crying, sorry.

Yeah, pretty shitty. I would write a lot, but my english sucks and you guys don't care, so... gratz Brazil, best football country of the history by a landslide.

You're not really Argentinian if you admit to that.
 
Maybe i'm not, i don't care, i was just born here and see the matches that my national team plays with passion because i enjoy them (why would i watch them if not?). But reality is another thing, and i prefer to think with my brain, not my flag. We are an amazing sports factory given our economic resources, population and social status, but Brazil has the best fútbol in the world with too damn much advantage. That's it.
 
Brazil just brings it to the big games. By most accounts, they shouldn't have even been at this final - but they brought it and we (Argentina) buckle under pressure - Riquelme is so hit or miss (and this game was miss). Pato is old - take him out. Verron played like ass. Where the hell was tevez? Overall, it wasn't the team Argentina has been bringing out. We didn't win a single header the entire game. It was a sad match.

That said, Brazil was overtly aggressive - they played ugly. I think once you have 5 yellow cards, next yellow should out a player. But, if the world cup match with Germany is any indication - that's the best way to take Argentina out. Forget joga bonito.

Oh come on, I know what you mean but that was an accident. Something like that can happen in every match and our striker could've been injured as well.
 
Just finished watching the Brazil-Argentina match. F**king Baptista - where was that all season? I watched the Univision broadcast, btw - Ray Hudson has overstayed his welcome after all of this Copa commentary for the past 3+ weeks.
 
The Argentina - Mexico match was pure bull. For once in my life I had money on Mexico and this shit happens. Still, I knew Brazil was going to win, but never like it happened. Argentina needs to work in this kind of shit. They never can come back from a goal down against a decent team.
